When advertising goes awry. Some genius thought it would be a good idea to promote IBM’s new Linux servers [LINK] by stenciling cute little symbols on the sidewalks. They also thought Haight/Ashbury would be a good place for this?! They didn’t take into account they’d be dealing with San Franciscan’s who immediately displayed their feelings. […]
Kathleen Cohen introduced me to Gladstone’s and we now seem to have lunches there a lot. It’s a beach thing. Sit outdoors, have the sea bass, pay the expensive bill, take your food home in a foil shaped animal and enjoy yourself. Always the best of times.
[PINATA DECAPITATION VIDEO] The day after the layoffs from PDI, I flew down to L.A. to go to a Steamboat Software Bar-b-que and Charlie’s 30th birthday. Also to start looking for a job. No need to lollygag. [LINK] Charlie decapites a bunny pinata that doesn’t even move. Talk about shooting fish in a barrel. It’s […]
[GOLDEN GATE PARK VIDEO] I walked over to Haight street and had breakfast at Squat and Gooble, but on my way back I took short cut through the park. I came across this area that I’d never been to before. The oldest children’s park in the nation. You learn something new everyday. It’s actually behind […]

On the roof of the Xulu.com Entertainment, Inc. building in SOMA. Friend Eric is doing some visualization for this entertainment venue company. I went for a visit after work and played some of the games and took in some of the sights from the roof. I even got to meet Iain McCaig. He’s a concept […]
I flew down to L.A. to do my taxes and see a friends band “Anyone” at the House of Blues Anaheim. On the way home I was fortunate to have been on a brand new Southwest Airlines airplane. The windows were spotless, and the clouds were amazing that day.
There are 13 years between these photos. I went on a road trip with my friends to Pacifica in 1988, and here I am revisiting it. It’s the first time I’ve been back here since school, and it’s weird to think that I don’t know any of them now. Friends change, sunsets don’t.
These mallard ducks started hanging out on the back door of PDI. The male always keeps an eye out while the female sleeps. What a nice guy.
I went home sick from work today, so I took the coast home. I spent more time playing around than actually resting. Oh well, it made me feel better. I love the layers along this eroded beach, Montara State Beach. Not a very good nude beach apparently.
Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park. Out on my nightly walk.
I won the big prize at the Oscar Party! I won $100 for picking the most winners. I rarely lose this game.
The Lighting team from Shrek had our own wrap party. Probably to console each other that we actually did a good job. We probably didn’t mean some of the things we said to each other during production either.
What’s great about this photo is that it’s only 10 minutes from my house. I love that you can lie in photography. The fog has started to roll in, but the sun is still poking through. What you can’t hear or see is a cargo ship blowing its horn as it comes through the fog […]
How many times can you shoot this photograph? Apparently a lot. [LINK] Here’s my version. No better, no worse. It’s a little cooler out than it looks. In the middle of Fort Point there’s this big black cannon. It’s almost impossible to take a photo of it with no one in the picture. It took […]
A wrap party PDI/DreamWorks style. In the parking lot. They really now how to splurge on us after having sweated through two years of work. Factoid: The Shrek Crew Jackets… don’t say crew on them. Thanks a lot.
If I have to commute 37 miles to work, I’m glad it’s this beautiful the whole way. Most nights it looks like this along Hwy 280, with the fog rolling in over the hills and Half Moon Bay. [LINK] According to the sign it’s “The World’s Most Beautiful Freeway”. Kind of an oxymoron if you […]
I bought this figure today after having seen the new “Alice” game from EA. The “help me” sign was a cry for help via my internal webcam. It was pointed at it most days during production woes.
This is from atop Twin Peaks in the middle of San Francisco. These peaks were once known as “Los Pechos de la Chola”, “The Breasts of the Indian Girl”. That’s one breast over to the right, which means I’m standing on the other one and acting like a nipple. Off to the left is Sutro […]
